Rainbow Fish Bar

Been to this place all my life and they do a killer fish and chips the best on the south coast!

It always amazes me that although fish and chips is one of our national dishes, quality varies enormously both from one fish and chip shop to the next, and from visit to visit to the same place.
And so it is with the Rainbow Fish Bar in the six or seven times I’ve ordered food from this place I’ve been both delighted and disappointed, but mostly disappointed.
On the whole the food is good; the portions are reasonable and my impression is that food is cooked fresh to order. However, when I’ve ordered fish, more often than not it has been a bit dry and overcooked and the batter a bit thick. Also, whilst I appreciate that these things are very much a matter of personal taste, for me, the chips tend to be a little too greasy.
All in all, none of this is a big deal, except that this is one of the more pricey fish and chip shops I’ve frequented, and I don’t generally feel I’m getting value for money.
